Item #: SCP-3548
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A hemispherical barrier has been established around SCP-3548, and is to be routinely inspected for any possible ruptures; personnel interacting with the anomaly are to wear appropriate sound-cancelling gear. The surrounding area is to be sound-proofed to protect against a minimum of 90% of outgoing sound waves.
Medical and psychological treatment is currently ongoing for all individuals affected by SCP-3548, following the administration of Class-A amnestics.
Description: SCP-3548 is a large digital clock with a 0.5m x 1m LED screen, set to a timer. Notably, the device continues to display a timer even while not connected to a power source. Attempts to deactivate SCP-3548 have proven unsuccessful.
Every 60 seconds, SCP-3548 emits a 130dB sound, inducing symptoms of stress, paranoia, increased alertness, and eardrum rupture in nearby individuals. Subjects report having visions of an apocalyptic event (designated SCP-3548-1) while under SCP-3548's effects. Aspects of SCP-3548-1 commonly reported include but are not limited to:
- Affected subjects report being transported to a barren field under a blank black sky. SCP-3548 is heard ringing in the distance, while the ground shakes. After, several large white pills start falling from the sky, crushing organisms in the distance.
- Glass-fibre tendrils ensnaring any moving humans and forcing them to engage in social activities (such as parties, picnics and shopping meetings).
- Individuals being forced to repeat “I’ll not forget, I promise”.
SCP-3548 was found in PoI-3548's house, above its roof; the exact purpose of the countdown is unknown.

[Dr. Bears knocks on the house's front door twice.]
Dr. Bears: No response. Oh, wait, there's a doorbell right there, see?
[Dr. Bears presses on the house's doorbell twice. A deep, 100dB sound is released from it, shaking the residence's structure for three seconds.]
Dr. Bears: Jesus! What kind of—
